Cat Urine Odor-can it be Removed
The cat population in America is more than 75 million, and anyone who owns a cat knows that stains and smells from cat urine odor can be a problem. Cat urine that seeps through carpet, into padding and down to the floor beneath can give your home an unpleasant aroma and bad look. In almost all cases, cat urine is the worst perpetrator for cat stains and cat odors.
When cats urinate as a means of elimination, they normally do it on a horizontal or flat surface like the ground or in a litter box. When cats spray in order to mark their territory, they turn their backsides to the object, twitch their tails and spray urine on the vertical surface.
The cat’s urine is an amber-colored liquid waste fluid excreted by the kidneys and is composed of waste products of protein metabolism. The color of cat urine and its staining potential will often depend on dietary habits, age and sex of the cat, whether the cat is on medication, and the health of the cat. It can saturate absorbent materials such as padding, upholstery and mattresses.
